Illness or accidents during holidays
14 Mar, 2023 by
Vacations are often looked forward to by workers. When an employee becomes ill or suffers an accident, the inability to work may, under certain conditions, be incompatible with taking a vacation.
The purpose of vacation is to allow the worker to rest and eliminate the fatigue accumulated throughout the year. This can be compromised if an illness or accident occurs during the vacation. In order for the employee to be able to recover them, certain cumulative and restrictive conditions must be met.
